yoga has been one of my guiding lights since i was 16 years old. what began as a personal practice became a lifelong path of devotion, exploration, and transformation. in 2019, i deepened my practice through certified yoga teacher training and have since completed hundreds of hours of training (E-RYT 500). i am also a certified reiki master, sound healing practitioner, and meditation guide. through floating leaf yoga and the communities, studios, and spaces i am honored to be part of, i weave yoga, reiki, sound healing, and meditation practices into experiences rooted in connection, balance, and remembrance.

based in new haven, connecticut, and new york city, i regularly lead classes at several studios and offer one-on-one and small group sessions for those seeking a more personalized experience. i also facilitate women’s circles and host special events, sound baths, retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings designed to create intentional spaces for healing, reflection, learning, and connection. over the years, i have had the honor of guiding students through a variety of yoga styles, from the gentle stillness of yin and restorative to the dynamic flow of vinyasa. my teachings emphasize the importance of balance, both on and off the mat, by embracing the interplay of yin and yang, effort and ease, movement and stillness. through this approach, i encourage students to cultivate harmony within themselves, recognizing that true well-being comes from integrating both strength and surrender. when we find balance within, we align with the natural rhythms of the earth, the ebb and flow of the tides, the cycles of the moon, and the changing of the seasons. in this alignment, we remember our connection to the natural world and step into a deeper relationship with ourselves and the universe around us. from this space of harmony, we open ourselves to health, abundance, creativity, love, and wisdom, living in greater flow with the infinite intelligence that surrounds and resides within us.

my devotion to reiki is rooted in my understanding that reiki comes not from outside of us, but from within. i hold space for others to reconnect with the universal healing energy that flows through everything. i see myself as a magnet, helping draw forth the reiki that is already within you. in this way, reiki is not something given, but something remembered. whether experienced through hands-on sessions, distant healing, or woven subtly into my other offerings, reiki is a foundational part of my work. my passion for sound healing is fueled by one of my core beliefs: because we are created by sound, sound has the ability to tap into the deepest layers of healing. on a cellular and energetic level, sound frequencies and vibrations can help remind the body of its natural rhythm and wholeness. through sacred instruments such as singing bowls, chimes, drums, and more, i create immersive soundscapes that support relaxation, nervous system regulation, emotional release, and energetic alignment.

time and time again, i am reminded of the profound healing power that resides within each of us. it is an honor to hold space for others as they reconnect with their own wisdom, wholeness, and inner light, and to offer practices that invite us to remember what has been within us all along.
